paul 23*

Literally my defense for not going vegan.

He's so frfr

As a lifelong vegetarian, yeah. Paul 23 knows what's up

they invited him but not ted lmaooo

@@abhiramiprabakar7067 ted was there

@@harrypercmuncher yeah but they didn't invite him. thats the point

He just barely fit them into his schedule. He’s in a hurry you know.

Isn't the man in a hurry Mcnamara? That's why he is in a trenchcoat?

me too. hey, they could very well be the same people from TGWDLM, so in that case I'm happy.

They could be the same, just somehow forgot they were married. Ignoring that, I still think it works with Emma's final moments either being the alien parasite mimicking Emma's final moments, or Android Emma's memory being corrupted, leading to her getting stuck in a loop, reliving her last moments until her power runs out. I don't know if the singing m g parasite can take over androids, but if it works on clones, it could still mess up her servers..

​@@Starkidfan27although thatd be cool I dont think they are. the real Emma in this mentions wanting to start a pot farm, which the Emma from tgwdlm also planned to do, and it seems like the android Emma never wanted or thought of doing that

Maybe this is the same Emma and Paul….. maybe the curse (or whatever that was) was lifted and they were able to settle or something???

I'm pretty sure that tgwdlm is set in a different timeline because the homeless guy AND Ted were both present at the same time lolol

I love that too.

In the grand tradition of X-Files, Gravity Falls, So Weird, etc.

@@adamdavis1648 seems to me like a pretty clear mix between mostly Steven King and HP Lovecraft stories/mythos. Big multipronged connected timeline and stuff like haunted cars and psychic children (mostly taking place in one town) - Classic King, Eldritch malevolent deities - Lovecraft.

@@jazzy4830 True; I just meant X-Files, Gravity Falls, So Weird and Hatchetfield are all shows where just about any paranormal thing can happen and thus there's a "monster of the week" format where a different paranormal thing happens in each episode. Using the same characters in different timelines is a pretty unique twist on the format, though, and that plus the characters being really interesting are the most intriguing things about Hatchetfield in my opinion. I also suspect these writers will actually have a satisfactory to their myth arc, something X-Files and So Weird sadly lack.

@@maddielancaster2537 congratulations on being the only not single person in this comment section 👏

I never realized that but They Would

It's even worse because he actually didn't ruin his second chance... he ruined his FIRST chance. He caused the original timeline events to occur because he was time travelling. Young Ted didn't pass out and miss confessing because he was too drunk; he passed out because Bastard Ted knocks him out to take his place. Jenny never ran off to Clivesdale with her boyfriend like he thought she did; Bastard Ted accidentally evaporates her after she leaves the note and that's why they never saw each other again. He only gets the disintegrator after killing Kilgore, who is Andrew, the guy Bastard Ted assaulted, so he couldn't take Jenny from him. If Bastard Ted never attacked Andrew, then he wouldn't have become a cyborg bent on revenge, and therefore wouldn't have gotten the disintegrator that vaporized Jenny. The timeline where he gets married IS the original timeline, before Bastard Ted messes it all up. Young Ted wouldn't have been passed out and he would've been able to find an alive Jenny and confess to her and realize their mutual feelings, thus resulting in their marriage. Maybe if Ted had gone back to 2019 instead of 2004 then maybe things would've been different. It's really sad

@@RebaMedia oh my god youre right that just makes it hurt more

@@RebaMedia How did Ted see part of the original timeline? Did Tinky make him see it to manipulate him into taking that chance?

​@@alecLoganMost likely. Kinda the MO of these paranormal evil plushies.

@@alecLogan Yeah, I personally think so since seeing his own wedding is the catalyst to Ted's downfall that leads him to fall into Tinky's clutches. Tinky controls Time and Space and therefore probably knows all of Ted's timelines and enjoys fucking with him, especially since Ted has a special connection to Tinky as he's the only one who can use the time travel office. Perhaps that connection makes it easier to show Ted timelines and communicate with him as opposed to anyone else in Hatchetfield, hence why he's focused on the Spankoffskis

Yea dude! Nothin better! :D

It makes sense that Tinky, as a Lord in Black, would keep throwing Ted/ Homeless Man into his brothers' chaos. I mean, they are basically the embodiment of chaos so what's stopping them? In my mind none of the Lords in Black are causing chaos in the same timeline, either they are happening in multiple very similar timelines at basically the same time or they just "reset" each time. Since the black and white is a dimension outside of time and space it would make since for these events to exist in there no matter which way if you think about it. Okay, I'm rambling and my brain is starting to melt so I'll stop. I hope that made some sense. 😂 (I could also just be way off)

And yet, he didn't gave him to Nibbly

Which means Ted has seen it all, and even though he's to addled to explain he knows the most out of everyone. It's kinda sad to think the only timeline he's happy in he's part of a body hijacking hive mind.

There's been a little more info released since this video came out. The Hatchetfield universe started out as one timeline. Sometime between 2004 and 2019, it was split into many timelines. We don't know when that was, but they have confirmed that it wasn't related to Jane's car accident, which was a popular fan theory. Ted from the Time Bastard timeline got sent back in time to before the time split. He became the homeless man, then that version of him was present for the time split and became part of every timeline. There's a timeline of events on the Starkid wiki to help keep track of all this.

@@Jason_Bryant That makes way more sense. Maybe something to do with Hannah?

He's probably my least favourite character but he has an indescribable chaotic energy and I love it

Classic

His backstory as well. Fucking hell its brilliant

Lets Go Brandon

imagine if Ted was considered for Emma's Bridesmaid (Yes I wrote that before second novel)

ngl I thought it was a shopping bag at first 😭

@@fungalthing2217 apparently it is lol

I know, right! Her acting in the scenes with both Emmas is so amazing and I wanted to comment on it, but you already did it!

Especially the moment of both Emmas shouting at Paul to give one of them the knife, without any input from Nick and only slight movements back and forth from Lauren, I could easily tell which Emma was talking, not only from their lines, but the delivery. She gave each Emma a veeeeery slight shift in pitch to distinguish between them (the android Emma had a slightly deeper speaking voice than the real one), and her ability to swap seamlessly to each one in that moment just shows how crazy talented she is.

Yeah Great fan fiction Wonder why the nick or mat didn’t write something for that one tho

I love how they took the two look alike trope and made it very clear who each one was and what their motivations were, so that Paul would have no doubt who he was choosing to cut off. I thought it would've been cool to see Paul threaten himself to get the Emma's to backup, but that was before the surprise clone twist.

@@galactic7458 and just insane occasionally

Would love to see a show that has both evil joey and evil Jeff!

You could say it's insanely terrifying how insanely talented the man is.

can i hold you??

You made me choke on my tea.

I don't know, I feel like the ending implies the whole play takes place within the same timeline (Young Ted is either too drunk to remember his future self coming and tazing him, or he assumed it wasn't a drunken hallucination and not worth mentioning, but either way, he says he got drunk and passed out. He then gets a note from Jenny and never sees her again, so he assumes she moved to Clivesdale. Her boyfriend ends up being the villain in the future) and it's only after he dies as the homeless man that he starts entering other timelines, so I assumed that the stuff from Paul and Emma's wedding in the beginning of the second episode was actually from later in Fake Paul and Fake Emma's wedding? I've only just watched it for the first time and haven't gotten the chance to rewatch knowing the twist, so I could be wrong…

@@sabrinamcclain162 that's exactly right, but I think you missed the joke. He somehow managed to show up to the wedding uninvited, time travel, and then show up uninvited to that wedding *again.*

@@sabrinamcclain162 actually, nevermind, I think you're wrong, too. I think it's just a huge time loop, and there's no other "alternate universe-hopping" stuff. It's just he saw the homeless dude, and he didn't know that was him, because it happens in the future. It's a torturous cycle that starts with Ted noticing the Homeless Guy, and ends with him becoming the Homeless Guy.

@@ryantalley5284 Ah, I saw your comment before the reveal, and thought you meant that he crashed the wedding in both timelines, and that interpretation kind of stuck in my head. :) And the narration says that the homeless guy goes into the bastard's box at the end. I would assume that means he goe into alternate timelines, otherwise, how could the homeless guy exist in The Guy who didn't like Musicals and Black Friday, when in both musicals, Ted dies young?

Ehh he is fine

its a disturbing thing that i will never get out of my brain

Probably? He practically admitted to doing it.

Oh, I think about this at least once a week and have brought this up to all my friends, I'm more curious as to how the hell he did such a thing than I am repelled by it.

I feel like the fact that Tom was about to with his wife the car is more concerning than the Alexa-

@@natcorrea7421 Nick said in an interview at some point that only whats shown in the YT releases is canon. This makes Tom doing the car not canon. Hidgens doing his Alexa? That is canon! This is what disturbs me the most!

i thought it was tissue paper

Lauren is such a good actress it could have been made of silk or made of burlap for all I noticed.

This is why Andy is one of the most tragic characters in the Hatchetfield series.

Not sure if this was intended, but i read this in the tune of Shia Labeouf

"In the future you don't get her, so don't even try Weasley"

@@coffeeandchaos_2456 lol, imagine if Andy was played by Lauren xD

Wait, are Joey and Lauren dating/married?!

@@oinkersboinkers7188 married xD

Oh fuck

we’re gonna keep extending this theory until everyone in hatchetfield is just one person huh

Perfect!

I mean, if the freaking Homeless Man is actually Ted, anything's possible

At 1:16:23 Executive Kilgore calls himself Andrew. Back in the day he probably went with the name Andy. He then became the man in a hurry. But that wasn't enough to reach his girlfriend. Being a fast human wasn't enough. He had to become a cyborg to stand a chance against the Time Bastard. Maybe we can't connect all the characters of Hatchetfield, but maybe all characters played by one actor are actually only one character

Tinky is honestly terrifying. One of the scariest Starkid characters.

The fact that the time manipulating Dark Lord is a yellow goat man played by Jeff, seriously uplifted the character's creepiness to new heights. Absolutely brilliant.

This is very true!

YES

There's no denying that.

Lucky for me no one asked me anyways 😅

@@briecloud6198 me tho

I mean...yes🤣

If that’s actually true that would be wild

Makes sense to me, since the timelines split in 2005 and he got put in the bastards box in 2004 then that would explain how he appears in all timelines

This is the interpretation I agree with.

This makes perfect sense to me 🤷🏼 maybe it has holes idk but so does time travel in general so

That actually makes a lot of sense. Though I'm not 100% convinced yet. Mainly because Ted doesn't appear in black Friday and the homeless guy doesn't appear in nightmare time 2 (the same universe where TED dies. But I also find a hard time seeing tinky mess with him an infinite amount of times. That would probably bore him after a while. I just need some more time to think about this bastard

I KNOW

I am completely convinced that originally Peanuts had an episode and they started writing it, but hit writers block after “peanuts can talk” due to the lines, “Peanuts can talk... he’s a sentient being...what do we do now?... where do we go from her?...” in the song.
